Dear KRONOS user,

Korg is pleased to announce the release of KRONOS software version 2.0.2!

For the original KRONOS, software version 2.0.2 adds a number of new features, including User Sample Banks, support for installing a second internal SSD, improved Akai and SoundFont 2.0 import, and support for USB ethernet adapters for transferring files between the KRONOS and your computer.

For both the KRONOS X and the original KRONOS, software version 2.0.2 also includes various improvements and resolutions to specific operational issues.

User Sample Banks

User Sample Banks bring the benefits of Korg's EXs to your own custom sample libraries:
* Load & play gigabytes of your custom or converted samples, using Virtual Memory
* Create subsets of banks, and mix and match parts of different banks, without duplicating samples on disk
* Easily share sounds with friends and collaborators

Second Internal SSD support

The KRONOS now supports installation of a second internal SSD, for more storage of samples, audio tracks, and program data.
* Supports blazing-fast, road-ready SATA SSDs
* Installation by authorized service centers only
* Contact your Korg Distributor for details on purchase and installation

USB Ethernet support

The KRONOS now supports USB Ethernet adapters for fast, easy file transfer with personal computers.
* Back up files to your computer, transfer samples to the KRONOS, and organize and re-name files and directories on the KRONOS internal disks
* Connect via off-the-shelf USB Ethernet adapters (see manuals for list of supported devices)
* Uses industry-standard ftp, for universal support of all modern operating systems

Improved Akai and SoundFont 2.0 import

Import of Akai and SoundFont 2.0 libraries has been improved in various ways. Most notably:
* Up to 16 stereo velocity zones are now supported within a single HD-1 Program
* Increased compatibility with variations in SoundFont 2.0 formatting and naming
* Enhanced support for SoundFont 2.0 synthesis parameters

KRONOS v2 Editor and Plug-In Editor

KRONOS System Version 2.0.2 will be supported via the upcoming KRONOS v2 Editor and Plug-In Editor software, which will be available for free download at www.korg.com/kronos/Support at the end of August 2012. The previous versions of the Editor and Plug-In Editor are not compatible.

For more information on the new features, please see the updated PDF manuals and the onboard Help system.

In addition to new features, the update includes various improvements and resolutions to specific operational issues.

The new software is free for all registered users, and will be available for download at 9PM (EST) on Aug 8 from http://www.korg.com/kronos.

We hope that you enjoy these additions to the KRONOS as much as we enjoyed creating them!

Best regards,

KORG

Am based in ireland. There are link issues going via the top menu on the korg.com site. Permission not allowed.

Instead use the link provided on the home page in the slider gallery.

Just in case, here is the link.

wow, i also saw that memory management has been optimized. In OS 1.6.0 i had 723MB free when i started the Kronos, in OS 2.0.2 i have 796 MB free after starting the Kronos!!!

That's 10% more free memory :)

I have tried to download the new OS, however it is not possible, I don't even see the OS prompt. Perhaps to many Kronos friends who try to download the OS

Regards
Olaf
